Death . . .
Alright, so a friend of mine's dad died on tuesday after a long battle with a brain tumor. i've known the guy for since like thrid grade (we're freshemen now) and his mom was my teacher. when i heard about this i was very upset. I couldn't bring myself to go to the funeral today, but i'm worried my friend's going to think i don't care about him, and that i'm not worried about him. I'm sending him a card and donating for the charity they wanted us to donate to instead of flowers, but is there anything else i could do for them? i feel horrible about not going to the funeral, but what else should i do?

Just make sure he knows that you will always be by his side no matter what.

You should explain to your friend why you dont want to go to the funeral. I am sure she will understand if she doesn't just talk to her till she does get it. you should also tell her that you are upset about it. Hope I helped. ~Calie

Oooh i know how u feel..the same thing happened to my dad. i'
m very sorry about the loss. I think that it is wonderful that u donated to the charity and that he will find it totally understandable that u chose not to go the funeral because of ur feelings. I think that wat ushould do is go over and talk to ur friend and commfort him and tell him that ur here for him and that he can talk to u anytime. It will be really reasuring to him and he will find the support of his good friend very helpful. I hope this helped u and sry again about ur friend's dad

While I can understand you being uncomfortable at the funeral, you should make it a point to visit your friend. Talk to him, let him know verbally that you're thinking of him. Do the same thing for his mom, especially since she was a teacher of yours. By expressing your sympathies for both him and his mom, you'll show a great deal of respect for the family in their time of loss. By making a point of talking to your friend, you'll show you care. Don't make a big deal about the funeral. Should he ask, I think there's no harm in admitting that you were uncomfortable attending - don't be afraid to say you were even "scared" to go - but make it a point to let him know that you do care and that you do think about him and the sense of loss he must have.

i was gonna say it wuld be nice to send a card and tell how its too hard fer u to attend the funeral...maybe u can call his relatives and tell them how sorry u were to hear about it...hope i helped <3

All I can say is that you need to talk to him. Be there for him to cry on your shoulder and to just have long talks about it. Since you weren't there for the funeral then you weren't there for him when he had to tell his dad goodbye. Now all you can do is talk to him and it's good that you are donating and sending him a card. Go visit him whenever you get a chance and just give him a HUGE hug! It will make him feel a lot better! Hope I helped! -Kayla

Just be there for your friend when he needs a shoulder to cry on, or someone to talk to! Maybe you can go to their house from time to time and show them that you care and that your there for them. And if your religious, pray! I'll pray for your friends family if thats ok with you..
